Stormwater runoff can be hard to manage with gutters and downspouts alone. And a saturated, soggy yard that soaks the foundation is not a good time. When a homeowner called Ask This Old House for help, landscape contractor Jenn Nawada knew just what to do. Together, they install two gutter runoff control options that will easily control these water challenges and divert water from the foundation.
Note: In both cases here, we dug into the soil to control the runoff. Anytime you’re going to dig, call 8-1-1 to have underground utilities marked to ensure your safety.
